After Black Friday deals, it’s high time for retailers to sell of the products/stuff asap. I hear that Sales results of Black Friday have been overwhelming.According to reports, sales started early in-store and online and were slightly up over last year. Most retailers reported strong sales with laptops, TVs and Zhu-Zhu pets proving the most popular.
According to a report from TIME, the biggest reason why retailers noticed an increase in sales for Black Friday 2009 was due to the sales starting earlier than ever this year. Some retailers opened their doors as early as midnight; the normal opening time is 6 a.m., so allowed for a more steady flow of shoppers.
PayPal reported that there was a 25% increase in he amount of money being moved around on Thanksgiving Day compared to the same period last year; this is according to a statement from PayPal. The news that sales being up this Black Friday will be great news for retailers, one that they hope will continue until Christmas.

Great post with lots of useful information. The Black Friday sales were very good. I think the retailers and online stores are really competing to get business and get rid of their inventory. I see a lot of price matching going on also. Cyber Monday has also been good.
